Hiya ..Todays inspiration project i have gone with the theme and I have done a tag.These can obviously be used for the purpose they are named for as a lovely addition on a present to make it more special,or just an easy way to store some easy toppers to add to a card at a latter date..Some people and some challenges are just about tags believe it or not.I love doing them too ,not easier than a card really but a s something different for a change .

I have coloured the beautiful fairy in with Polychromos Pencils onto Neenah card..Tonight I used a torn edge Tattered Lace die,drew around it and fussy cut both the image and the craft background..Silly o'clock in the morning is too late to use my Ebbosser..and I had already cut the tag out using a Crie-a-lies tag die ,they do several different shaped ones but this one is my favorite one..The backing paper I used is from a GCD designs paper pad ..Melody Ross Designer collections..I edged the paper using a purple SN Sparkle pen and glued to the craft card background..I then added the topper with 3D glue gel and finished with shop brought flowers ,punched leaves and some pretty lilac ribbon..Thank you for popping by :)xx

Hiya ,the pretty tag I created for today's project is die cut from a Crea-Nest-Lies Extreme Labels and Tags die ..I love this one as I like the pretty cathedral like top of the tag..The image is coloured with Polychromos Pencils onto Neenah card,and I cut this with the smallest when I had finished colouring the image,I then did a faux stitching effect around the edge and coloured around using the same golden yellow I used in the Parcel.The pink dot paper was out of my scrap box so not sure who's it is ,but this is a great way to use up lots of bits from your scrap box.The Beautiful gold and craft card behind the pink is from a pack from HunkyDory,it is gold on top of craft card and has Happy Birthday in several types of print on it ..It also gives it a textured feel behind the pink as well as a bit of luxury too..The main Tag is cut from Craft card..All the layers make it a very substantial tag,one that will be kept as a memory.To finish I added a pretty burlap piece of ribbon to tie it on with and a bow ,then used a pr-emade shop brought flower in the center to finish it of..I added the hand written tag,and three pretty sparkle flower gems..It has come out ,soft and luxurious ,just how I wanted it too ..Thank you for visiting ,Enjoy your day :)xx

Hiya ,the image on this card was coloured using Polychromos Pencils onto Neenah card..Once coloured I fussy cut her out. For her background I used a Tattered Lace scalloped Pin dot circle which I ran through a cloud embossing folder and de-bossed it ,this makes it a little more subtle,for this I used a beige Centura Pearl.I then mounted Bella onto the background using 3D glue gel.For the card I mounted all of my papers onto the same Centura card ..The paper is from First Editions Floral Pavilion,the Purple is an off cut from my box..The white doilies on either side of the circle are from CC Downton Abbey the first set...Once these were in place I added the topper once more using the 3D glue gel..The butterflies are dies I brought from Honkong so do not know the name ,I placed a few gems on that side on the butterflies and on the doily ,then the other side I added some pretty blooms and roses,these were shop brought ..To finish I added the matching sentiment that comes with the stamp and a few faux pearls..Thank you for popping by :)xx

Today's.. is a new release featuring the Scaredy Cats..fun ,different look for Halloween ,and Why not indeed lol!..This lovely image was coloured with Polychromos onto Neenah card..The tiny stars I have used a Uniball Sina white gel pen,this is my favourite as I find it is by far best coverage ,even over the oil in the pencils as you can see they are really standing out from the background,I have mounted the image onto a fancy Holographic silver card then onto black,to make the image pop..The Papers are from GDS Studios ..Called Melody Ross Designs (Lydia Collection ) ..Because the paper was busy I mounted black first then the silver ,It looked better that way .Before gluing the top card onto the final backing mat I put a Halloween ribbon around it . I added the topper with 3D glue gel then a bow. across the bottom,I then decorated by using layers of stars which seem to explode from the center of the ribbon and added a couple more dotted around..Sorry no Dies as I don't normally do Halloween and only do them for team work ,so I don't invest in them ,It is not so big in the UK

Hiya . For today's inspiration card I have kept with the theme of add three ,so I have added three papers and I have also added 3 mushrooms too..The beautiful Fairy wishes is coloured using Polychromos pencils onto Neenah card..I have used craft card to back this and have cut this out using a Tattered Lace Basic Pin dot fancy oblong die.For the backing papers I have used Crafter's Companion The English Country Garden Paper pad and these have been added to craft card too. I have recently found these new dies called Tutti Design Dies on Ebay ,They are fairly new to this country ,but I know one of the big craft companies stock a lot of them ..I think it is Crafts U Love ..but not sure ..The topper I placed flat onto the backing as this new die I just mentioned it's called Dove Circle -100..I cut this into two and added either side of the top of the cut out of the dies..I think it looks really pretty and goes so nicely with the theme of the card.The two doves I have added clear SN Sparkle pens to ,just to give them a bit of highlight from the rest...It was then glued flat this time because of how delicate the dies are on the top ,and I did not want them to get damaged by sticking out.To finish I cut three Mushrooms from a set that were from Mariane Designs that I have had for several years now..These I also coloured with SN Sparkle Pens and added the white dots with a White Gel Pen ..Thank you for visiting :)xx

Hiya,for today's card I have done another card for Knitty Kitty,these little mere Kitties are just so cute so I just went into fun mode both in the colouring and the making of the card..A bit different for me but a girl just has to have fun occasionally..These would make a fun project for the kids to colour too if you printed them onto som A4 paper and they could stick glitter and all sorts on it .

I coloured the image onto Neenah card with Polychromos Pencils.I also did a tag too which I photographed separately as well , and I coloured this using Conte a Paris Pastel Pencils ..I used Tonic Papers for the background from a Summer morning pas and I used a Star gold embossed craft card behind both images to frame them .First the card I matted the paper onto craft card,the colours went so well but also kept the fun of the card too hence the choice.Before adding the topper to the card I added some gauze behind it to represent fishing nets and to decorate I have used First edditions underwater creatures I am not sure what its actually called but if you are looking for it you will not miss it ..To finish I added a hand pleated piece of blue/green sparkle ribbon and some shell shaped irridesant gems ..Fot the Tag the topper was backed with the same embossed craft card as the card was But the whole thing was cut out using Tattered Lace Basic Tags,I used other pieces from out of the same die set to decorate,All the diecuts have been coloured using SN Sparkle pens to give a twinkle ..I then added a pretty double bow to finish and finished with a lovely gem..Thank you for popping by :)xx

Hiya for todays card I have chosen this really funny, different Knome Lady Digi from QKR Designs..I have coloured her with Polychromos Pencils onto Neenah card..(The background is my own creation and not on the stamp) ,then I mounted her onto craft card..The papers are from Tonic Simply Blooms paper pad and fit in beautifully with the bright colourful Knome lady.and also matted onto craft card too.The panel of embossing that I have put down the one side is from the latest Crafter's Companion Inspiration Magazine and is a border panel and a sample of what will be a new release shortly in the Signature range ..It looks great from the bits in the mag..Any way I actually used the backing card from the packet which was a nice colour that brought out the fleshy colours from the image and also from the main backing papers,waste nothing here lol!.To finish I added a variety of blooms down the panel and then added a few faux half pearls to the center ..Thank you for popping by :)xx
